Default Lexus LFA

Didn't want to show this until later, but a friend convinced me otherwise.
I hated the supra body I had lying around, and told myself to make an LFA.

I'm going to be ****ed off if Kyosho makes it LOL.

excuse my work area...







I'll have more pictures up later.. will this project be finished? I would hope so, this is pretty fun to create. As an extra point for glory,
I never used any measurements for this (yet). This is all freehand sculpting. :P
any straight lines that you might see are just by a card.

C&C welcome.

This makes me wonder if I can make my Supra beater into a 3000GT to match my DD.

Lexus LFA.. can't wait to see more progress.

thanks guys!
@songha, it might be possible, but your best bet is to start with an rx7 FD body.

Seems like a sweet idea, the LFA I mean.
As far as the 3000GT goes, FD body I think would fit better but the Supra front end matches the 3000GT front shape a bit better imo. So I would say go with an FD body and fit a supra front end and then just sorta work from there.

thanks again, guys!
@xxx, the putty ive used since i started modeling is Tamiya Epoxy Putty. I use the one in a blue box, but i believe the green box cures faster (the one I use cures in about 12 hours, but i give it 18-24 just to be sure).
